Honourable Diane Finley,

I find it hard to refer to you as Honourable when you let the people of Haldimand blow in the wind doing little or nothing on our behalf. This problem is now 15 months with no end in sight.

I acknowledge that the deed system in Ontario is the responsibility of the Province and law enforcement in Ontario is the responsibility of the OPP; however, when neither of those two components are working on behalf of the residents of a part of this country namely Haldimand County then it is the responsibility of the Federal Government to intervene on behalf of the residents.

The Liberal Party in Ontario is ignoring our legal deeds allowing Six Nations radicals, who I might point out, are wards of the Federal Government, to occupy legally deeded land, interfere with development activities in Haldimand County and continue to threaten and intimidate residents of Haldimand County .  While policing and deed management is a Provincial responsibility it is the responsibility of the Federal Government to intervene on behalf of residents of this country when their rights under the “Charter of Rights and Freedoms” are being ignored which they are at the hands of the Province and the OPP. The Province is not an independent entity in this country but rather an extension of the Federal Government in the structure of things.

Firstly the rights of land owners in Haldimand County are not being given equal treatment before and under the law as the OPP are allowing trespassers to occupy legally deeded lands without intervention. It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to ensure that wards of the Federal Government are not allowed to interfere with landowners legal right of possession.

“15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.”

Ms. Finley you as the representative of this region federally are responsible for protecting our civil rights, our land rights and our legal rights. You cannot abrogate your responsibility when politically convenient.

I am demanding Ms. Finley for an interpretation from the Federal Government as pertains to land ownership and legal deeds under the deed systems in place in Canada and their relationship to Aboriginal Rights under the “Charter of Rights and Freedoms” as demonstrated in section 25.

The question is a simple one “Does section 25 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms take precedence over the rights of landowners in Canada rendering deeds on land invalid”.

If the answer is yes to the question then tell the landowners in this country that their deeds are not worth the paper on which their written.  If the answer is no, then have your government intervene on behalf of land owners in this country, demand that the wards of the Federal Government cease and desist, tell the Provinces to start protecting legal deeds and tell the OPP to start arresting trespassers on legally deeded property.

“ 25. The guarantee in this Charter of certain rights and freedoms shall not be construed so as to abrogate or derogate from any aboriginal, treaty or other rights or freedoms that pertain to the aboriginal peoples of Canada including

a) any rights or freedoms that have been recognized by the Royal Proclamation of October 7, 17 63; and

b) any rights or freedoms that now exist by way of land claims agreements or may be so acquired.”

Stop the nonsense arguments between your government and the province of Ontario and get the problems in this county solved now. Surely you don’t believe that your current performance warrants re-election?
